Product Description

Meet TIM, the next generation of thermal copiers from 3K Instruments. Replacing the ever-popular A4 copier, a staple in tattoo shops for over 15 years, TIM uses thermal imaging heat from an infrared lamp to transfer your stencil design to thermal stencil paper. This means your original design must be drawn using pencil, carbon ink markers or laser printed designs. 

Insider tip: Avoid using inkjet printed designs as they will result in a poorer quality stencil.

What’s in the Box: TIM comes with a Quick Start Guide (German/English), North American power plug, a 12.5” carrier and one test sheet.

MEET TIM

Why Choose TIM

Higher, faster exposure speed, making it more adaptable to all types and styles of stencil paper.

When the manufacturer of stencil papers changed the formula of their products a few years ago, it introduced some new challenges. Some papers became more sensitive, making it necessary to expose them faster. TIM has a wide range of speed adjustments, so you can easily use all stencil papers for copying

25% Less Energy Consumption (approximately) Outperforms current models and the competition.

Shorter cooling times and sensor controlled cooling phases TIM has integrated sensor-controlled cooling. This means it only cools when the device is warm, and cools much faster after it’s reached its maximum temperature.

How fast? Previously, after reaching the maximum temperature, the A3/A4 required 10-15 minutes of downtime to cool. Thanks to the sensor-controlled cooling, TIM will have you making copies again in as little as 6-7 minutes.

Easy-Clean Roller and ReflectorMaking your life a little easier and your stencils a little clearer, TIM has an easy to clean, specially coated glass reflector and an improved silicone coated drive roller that wipes down quickly and easily with alcohol wipes.

    I don’t let anyone in the shop touch Tim

    Nice upgrade from the A4, works like it should, simple and consistent, clean stencils. I really like the retro aesthetic of the machine.

    New Thermal Copier

    This product is great, makes perfect stencils. Comes with a carrier sheet, packaged great and secure. I also have a A4 copier the “blue one” this one is just as good to be honest. Good purchase.
